We are just planning some changes to our kitchen, and will be removing a wall and replacing it with sliding glass doors, to give a 3.5 meter opening into the garden. The room will open onto a covered area that is approx 2 meters wide and 4 meters long, is enclosed with walls on three sides and will have a glass roof, so it will be very secluded but will be open to the elements on one end. We'd really like to have flooring that goes from the kitchen all the way out into the open space, and I'd like to use linoleum as it is so easy to have in the kitchen. Would it be suitable to have in a covered but essentially outdoors area? Thanks so much.

I have spent many late night reading this forum about what to do with my laundry room floor (relatively good condition, on-grade concrete slab about 7 x 19 feet)and have come to the following decision (from bottom to top): 1 layer of landscaping fabric (to keep the delta from possibly "clicking") 1 layer of Delta-FL 2 layers of 3/8 cdx, laid perpendicular to each other stapled together to form a floating subfloor (need to build some height to match connecting floor so not worried about height too much) 1 layer of some type allure/armstrong vinyl panel stuff Does anyone see anything glaringly wrong with this setup or have a better suggestion? I have been fretting about this for a while and am looking for the "go ahead" from an expert or two. Thanks all contributors, this is a great site.
